In the United States, smoking also tends to be regulated by law. But that wasn't my point.
While I agree that a mall is a public space and you have no reasonable expectation of privacy, it is still private property. The owner of the property makes the rules, and if they say no photography, you can't take pictures unless you get their permission first.
Rumor has it that most of the Canon DSLR line will eventually be full-frame. Its just a matter of advancing the manufacturing technology enough to get higher yields of CMOS sensors at a lower cost.
But at the same time, if you're doing Graphic Design work, you're not using the same type of cameras as the average consumer. You're either working with photographers who are using the 1Ds-MkII, photographers who shoot medium/large format film, or those who have converted their medium format cameras to digital with the special 25 mp+ digital backs.
So while 8mps isn't enough for your work, it is enough for the average consumer.
Isn't it better to be taking lossless pictures with digital cameras anyway?
It depends on what you're doing. If you're working on a deadline, for a newspaper, don't have time to post-process, or trying to capture action (like sports), you tend to shoot in JPEG. There are a variety of reasons for this, such as not having time to post-process and tweak the image or you need to make full use of the camera's image buffer.
RAW can be used for shooting the above, but in my experience, it is used by photographers who mainly want complete creative control of the image. It is used primarily in things like landscape, macro, and portraiture.
With Canon cameras, images shot in RAW have no processing done by the camera. This means that when you load it into photoshop or your image editing program, you can change things like the white balance, exposure, highlights, and shadows. When you shoot in JPEG, many of these settings are adjusted by the camera before it is saved to the card.
You can do pro-quality work in JPEG. File compression is just one aspect of capturing the image - factors like camera settings (ISO, shutter speed, apeture) and white balance have as much to do with the final image as what file type you're saving to.
As long as you get the settings right in camera, you should have no problem enlarging a Jpeg taken on a 6 megapixel camera or above. I routinely print 11x14 sized images taken with my 20D.
What are you doing that you need more than 8 megapixels? Unless you're doing high end product or portrait work, an 8mp camera is more than adequate for your needs. If you are doing the above, you might want to consider medium format film cameras or Canon's EOS-1d MkII ($7999 USD) or EOS 5D (significantly cheaper).
Unfortunately, every manufacturer will support the TCPM in the near future, if they don't already. So unless you want to be stuck with old machines that will be hard to maintain, you'll have to upgrade at some point. Computers don't run forever, and if you don't have replacement parts available, you can't keep them running.
Its possible that with TCPM, homebrewed operating systems, including customized versions of the *nixes, will not be allowed to boot. This seriously undermines my PURCHASE of the hardware. I doubt this provision of the DCMA will hold up on a purchased (but not licensed) item, and here is to hoping that someone challenges it soon.
Do you actually have any thoughts of your own? Or are you just going to keep citing that website?
There is a very good reason why the Necessary and Proper clause was added to the Constitution. It was to ensure that if the Federal government would be able to deal with changing circumstances.
Yes, it does give the government a power grant that they most likely don't need. But if they didn't have this ability, its very possible that the Union would have dissolved in a manner similar to the Articles of Confederation.
I would hire a private investigator and a lawyer. Also, I don't see how someone could kidnap my child if I was a good parent and actually parented the child at all times, as a parent should.
Thats because you don't have kids. Until you have kids, and have to start trusting others to take care of them at some point, you will never understand.
The problem with your argument is that you assume that you can protect your kids 24/7. Parents aren't always there, and they shouldn't always be there. If you don't allow your kids to go off on their own, they're never going to learn how to function in the real world.
Because it is private property, they can restrict photography inside the mall. Just because you invite the public in doesn't mean you give them rights to do whatever they want.
Well, I'm probably going to destroy some karma here, but I might as well reply to this. On the surface, it appears that a lot of people are slaves to American capitalism. But, in my opinion, that is only partly true. We're not "slaves" in the traditional sense since you can partially escape the system.
I believe that the slavery to capitalism stems from the "keep up with the Jones" syndrome. People become a slave to the debts they acquire in order to keep up with social standards. Part of it stems from the easy availabilty of credit, and I think it masks some social disease that Madison Avenue has fosted upon us. We're led to believe that we need everything, and without that, we can't be happy. When friend/neighbor/family gets said item, we feel that we need it more.
Since we saddle ourselves with large amounts of debt, we are stuck working to pay it off. Once you get into the system, you can't easily escape. Unfortunately, it seems that many people don't learn from those mistakes either. Once they pay down their debt, even partially, they seem to find a way to get themselves back into debt again.
That is how we become slaves to the system. Now, ideally, it is possible to break out of that and make money. No, you can't stop working. You do need food and a place to live. But without credit cards, or the minimal use of credit cards that are paid off right away, and a lot of saving, you can put yourself in a position where you aren't spending massive amounts of money every month to pay back money you borrowed. In essence, you become much more free.
As to the political party thing, you can start your own party and run for president. During the last election, I saw several names on the Presidential ballot that weren't Republican or Democrat. Now, whether you win is a different story, but you're free to start a party and run for office to your heart's content.
But they're not. That page just shows what labels are distributed by an RIAA member. If Nettwork has an agreement with a US distributor, they're going to be up on that page.
So then how does this all work? I take it Nettwork holds the copyrights to these songs and Sony/BMG just distributes the CDs for them.
So if the RIAA sues because someone downloads Nettwork's song (distributed by one of their members), and Nettwork actively supports the "infringer," what effect will that have on the case?
The dual-core Yonah consumes less power at 100% usage than the Athlon64 3800+ X2 does when idle while competing with it performance-wise. A low-power mobile Intel chip competing with a high-end desktop chip from AMD.
That is hardly a fair comparison. So what if the Yonah dual core uses less power than the Athlon64 3800+X2. They're in two different categories. When there is power consumption comparisons between two processors in the same category (ie desktop or laptop), then we can compare.
The thing is, we don't know if a lot of things are impossible or not. We thought life was impossible at the bottom of the ocean, and we thought life was impossible inside of a hot-springs. We even have examples of life producing (or was it digesting...i can't remember which) hydrogen.
So what is to say that different conditions won't give rise to different kinds of life? How do we know that, over a billion or so years, life hasn't adapted to molten metals or liquid hydrocarbons? We have no examples on Earth because conditions don't allow for it, but just because we can't observe it doesn't mean it is impossible.
Before you go back to your mantra about physics, also consider this. The orbit of the planet Mercury defied explanation for hundreds of years until physics caught up. The nature of light couldn't be pinned down until physics advanced.

Canon has had the jog wheel long before the S80. It was on a number of their DSLRs.

Yeah, but neither are 13mp. For that, you need to spend about $3000 USD for the Canon EOS 5D.

And in how many of those places are we basing troops without the consent of the government, elected or otherwise?
How many of those troop deployments are the result of a treaty commitment that was ratified by both the United States and the host country?

Let me know when you have kids. Then you can tell me, or anyone else, how to raise them.
Because it is private property, they can restrict photography inside the mall. Just because you invite the public in doesn't mean you give them rights to do whatever they want.
The same principle applies to smoking.
I'd rather just stick with Bush for the remainder of his term than let a man wholy consumed by evil take the reins.
Karl Rove can't be President.
According to IMDB, Lucas did the story.
So how do you catch 'soccer moms'

No, ID is not science. While it can be falsifiable, all of its conditions can't be tested. We can't test for the existance of a creator.
The thing is, we don't know if a lot of things are impossible or not. We thought life was impossible at the bottom of the ocean, and we thought life was impossible inside of a hot-springs. We even have examples of life producing (or was it digesting...i can't remember which) hydrogen.
